The first few days we gave the pain meds every four hours, as not to "get behind" Our PS said that if it's gets out of control, it is hard to get them caught up. The tylenol with codeine seemed to be making Jackson restless and grumpy, so we started just giving him the regular when we got home. Jackson had a lot of swelling, but like I said, we are not sure about it. Some of it may have come from the Morphine. I'm not sure how to post pics on here, but send me your email and I'll email you a couple of him right after surgery. Will Mia have the string through her tongue? I know some docs use it and some don't, but that is definitely something to ask about, so you won't be surprised!
I don't think I would say that Jackson was inconsolable. As long as I was rocking him in the rocking chair, he was fine. He just didn't want to be put down, which made it very exhausting! Don't worry about the questions...that is what we are all here for! Good luck tomorrow!
